You asked about an espresso machine for flat whites at home
Breville the Barista Express BES870BSS, but not yet
Wait until 27 Nov 2026
Black Friday is 27 November 2026. Last year this machine fell to about $580 in that sale.
Editorial timing, dated. We don't run price alerts.
Breville the Barista Express BES870BSS
- It has a grinder built in, so you need nothing else to start.
- Its steam wand makes the silky milk a flat white needs.
- Breville is an Australian brand with service and parts sold here.
Also fine: Breville the Bambino Plus BES500BSS if you already own a good grinder or will buy freshly ground beans.
The unpaid alternative
Make strong coffee in a plunger or moka pot you already own. Heat milk and shake it in a jar to froth it. It is not a true flat white, but it is close and costs nothing.
No commission on this line. It stays on every verdict.
How we decided
We compared all-in-one machines with a grinder against cheaper machines that need one. We weighed price, milk quality and local service in Australia. On 13 November 2026 we checked that the Breville Barista Express is still sold new in Australia. We checked its prices at JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys and Breville's Australian site. We also checked the Bambino Plus at JB Hi-Fi and last year's Black Friday prices.
In Australian shops: $580 to $720 when we checked. This is not Amazon's price. Prices move, so check before you buy.
